Monday, the day before Election Day, the White House is trotting out Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and HSA chief Michael Chertoff to announce a new get tough on crime measure:

Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales will participate in a press conference with Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, European Union Vice President Franco Frattini, Finland's Minister of Justice Leena Luhtanen, and Finland's Minister of Interior Kari Rajamaki regarding the signing of an agreement by the United States and the European Union to improve joint efforts to fight transnational crime on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2006 at 1:30 P.M. EST.

I guess they figure they're losing their battle to be the party that will make us safer in the war on terror, but they can still be the tough on crime party anxious to increase the prison population.

    announce the complete suspension of the bill of rights, to cut down on crime? maybe just impose martial law, on the entire USA, and be done with it?

    oh, wait, better yet, they'll announce that the elections, scheduled for the next day, are going to be suspended indefinitely, because, you know, that democracy thing is a real impediment to crime fighting.

    i'm sure they can get john yoo(sp) to write a memo opinion providing legal justification for it.
